Meet The VetsInTech Hackathon Participants And Its Winner, Bugl.co [TCTV]

This weekend, TechCrunch attended a very cool event in San Francisco called the VetsInTech Hackathon. The teams at the event weren’t normal hackers, the majority of them consisted of Military Veterans, which as a nation, we are very appreciative of. Being Veterans Day, this event was perfectly timed.

I sat down with each team and heard about their ideas that they were coding away on. Just like any hackathon there was lots of Red Bull and a bit of beer:

After the teams presented to a panel of judges, the winners were announced. The winning team, Bugl.co, has built a cool messaging system with the Military in mind. It’s quite genius and I think it really has a chance of being adopted and taking off:

This event is important for a lot of reasons, specifically for networking and business-building for men and women who have spent time overseas and are looking for their next career move. I can’t wait to check out the next one.
